News From Disneyland - 1991

It’s good to be back to blogging, that work stuff is for the birds!

“Disneyland ’91 Information – The Best Ways To See Disneyland” A three page “News from Disneyland” press release. Annual Passport was $180.00, it’s actually gone up less percentage-wise than the one day pass.

The cover of the 1991 Disneyland Souvenir Guide celebrating with the Disney Afternoon Live gang.

A fun map from 1991. Wow, I never would have thought I'd be longing for the Disneyland of 1991, but I am…. HEY wait, what’s in the America Sings building, huh, nothing?

More about the Disney Afternoon Live promotional tie-in with Disneyland. I remember this promotion at the park, it seemed kind of gimmicky at the time, it still does.

Come back on Bonus Sunday for the entire guide plus a Disney Afternoon Live Bonus!

I'm with you....I never thought I would miss the DL of 1991, but just look at what has been removed since then....A LOT!

And in 1991, they were "Imagineering a Brand New Attraction" for us in the America Sings building. Of course the sign stating that had already been hanging on the exterior of the building for 3 years and it took them a total of 10 years to actually put something in that building, but just look what we got. Wasn't it worth the wait?

MP-The price is based on supply and demand. It would be nice if Disneyland admission were only $30, but the gates would get shut everyday! Also, tourists who pay full boat subsidize the AP's. As the park has increasingly depended on AP's for in-park revenue it has also cut gate revenue. In 1991 there were probably 10% of the passholders.

I think most people are happy to pay more money if it is reinvested in new rides and maintenance.

Hi Tokyomagic; "Imagineering a Brand New Attraction" indeed… Ionventions is so lame; it epitomizes what’s wrong with the New Tomorrowland ’98!

Disneymagic, thanks!

John and Wescot2000 I figured the tour had to be in addition to your admission price, but it does actually state “and a Disneyland Passport good for unlimited use of all adventures and attractions after the tour is over”. BUT, it doesn’t seem possible that the tour AND passport were only $10 more than just the passport. Things that make you go “Hmmm”.

Major, hopefully the mouse doesn’t actually ready the stuff I type here… I did some math on my AP which I got in late December; I’ve gone 13 times, at the old prices that’s $858 for gate admission and $143 for parking for a total of $1,001.00. The AP cost $389 I believe, so I would say I am way ahead of the game!

Westcot2000; Interesting about the test run for Meet Mickey. And while I thought the Disney Afternoon Live tie-in at DL was gimmicky, I DID watch the program when it was on Channel 9 here in Los Angeles and I wasn’t even a kid!
